5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2022-48911
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_queue: fix possible use-after-free
Eric Dumazet says:
The sock_hold() side seems suspect, because there is no guarantee
that sk_refcnt is not already 0.
On failure, we cannot queue the packet and need to indicate an
error. The packet will be dropped by the caller.
